Male Sympetrum ambiguum transferring sperm from gonopores to secondary genitalia
Less than 30 seconds after disengaging from the wheel position with a female this male perched nearby above her, periodically flying off to guard her, then returning to this perch to replenish his secondary genitalia with sperm.

I had been in awe of beetles like this ever since I saw them in a museum tray many years ago, but suffice it to say that when I encountered this one in the field for the first time, it was..."glorious"!
Scanned from 35mm Ektachrome slide.

It looks like the larger fish has a second, smaller fish, in its mouth. The GBH made several attempts to swallow this fish before finally succeeding.

Quick trip to a friends Bosque County ranch to see if the GCW's had arrived. They were there and singing in force. Along with quiet a few BW Warblers and Chipping Sparrows.

Yes, I went birding in the below freezing weather- it wasn't too bad as long as the wind wasn't blowing. The birds were quite active although they didn't necessarily want to stand still and pose. LLELA- Cottonwood Trail

Two male Calopteryx maculata sparring over territory
I took 30-40 shots absolutely certain I would have at least one stunning shot out of the sequence but this heavy crop was the only shot that looked like it was taken on purpose...

@greglasley this was on the side of the building that @jwn and I was staying at. Thinking it's G. ozarkensis. Thoughts?

This bird flew over, headed back in the direction of its nest on the other side of the dam. As seen in the second picture, there were crows in hot pursuit.

What a nice morning -- big time thanks to Taylor for letting me check out the black-throated blue warbler that's sticking around his place. Stopped briefly at Harry Moss Park too.
